Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 442 - 382: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 22
What kind of people are the Xie Family from Jinghua? Everyone was well aware, especially those in the school circles who had business intersections with the Xie Family, as well as students who had deep knowledge about them; they all knew the status of the Xie Family. And now, Madam Xie was intimately calling Su Zhiruan her daughter. Among the onlookers, many were perceptive, and they could tell that it wasn’t Su Zhiruan trying to please Madam Xie, but rather Madam Xie herself, who was smiling and following along with Su Zhiruan.
There was no one present who did not know of the Xie Family, and precisely because they knew too much about the Xie Family, they also placed an additional halo and filter on Su Zhiruan. It seemed that they indeed could not afford to offend her in the future.
"It’s our first meeting, I’m very curious how you recognized me?" Su Zhiruan followed half a step behind Madam Xie, placing herself in a modest, younger generation’s demeanor. It was this small action of stepping back and following that made Madam Xie feel even more pleased with her.
"Walk beside me, I felt a connection with you at first sight; don’t be so restrained, just think of me as an ordinary elder. I came mainly to help Xie Yanshang, so I’m here to accompany you," Madam Xie said warmly, pausing her steps to walk beside Su Zhiruan. Then, under everyone’s gaze, Madam Xie blinked, and whispered, "As for how I recognized you, naturally, it was your voice. From the moment you spoke, I knew you were the young lady who had called Xie Yanshang."
"You have sharp ears and eyes to have recognized me immediately," Su Zhiruan nodded, smiling lightly.
The stretch of road they walked together through the school gate into the school was witnessed by almost all the students, who were stunned.
"They... they—they really look like a family! I’ve met Madam Xie before; she hosted a banquet, noble and aloof, not approachable to strangers. Even though she was smiling on the surface, her aura was fully imposing, and not many dared to approach her, let alone directly look into her eyes even if trying to please her!"
"Did Su Zhiruan feed her some kind of magic potion? Otherwise, how could she have charmed Madam Xie like this? I remember there was no relationship between them, the Su Family, and the Xie Family have no interactions, and they aren’t even on the same level!"
"Who knows what’s going on, could it be that Su Zhiruan is the designated future daughter-in-law of the Xie family? It’s possible; after all, there were rumors that the eldest young master of the Xie Family hadn’t married or been engaged. Suddenly, a girl he wants to marry appears—it’s not impossible!"
When these messy speculations arose, those who had bullied Su Zhiruan before and still had malicious intent, felt a creeping fear in their hearts.
Who exactly is Su Zhiruan?!
In the past, they thought she was just fish on the chopping board, a helpless little mouse.
But now, as she walked alongside Madam Xie, she had become much more confident and poised, a stark contrast to the previous timid Su Zhiruan. They had reason to suspect it was the Xie Family who supported her from behind, telling her she could be domineering and unrestrained in school, which was why she was no longer afraid.
Although the Xie Family had been withdrawn these years, their influence stretched globally.
Generally, unless one thought they had lived too long, they would not dare to meddle with the Xie Family’s businesses. So when they saw Madam Xie and Su Zhiruan walking together, they were determined to apologize to Su Zhiruan, and not disturb Su Zhiruan or speak ill of her behind her back in the future.
Of course, Su Zhiruan was not paying attention to these subtle thoughts of her classmates at this time; she had no time to care.
She briefly explained to Madam Xie what she needed help with.
"Aunt, I need your help to sign an assurance agreement for me!"
Su Zhiruan expressed her request.
"An assurance agreement?! I thought it was just a parents meeting! It turns out to be an assurance! Madam Xie’s eyes widened, first in surprise and then in understanding and admiration. She thought to herself, no wonder her own son’s attitude changed so much; it turned out he was interested in an excellent young lady."
Being able to participate in an assurance surely meant she had put in a lot of hard work in her previous studies, and her capabilities were evident.
Madam Xie looked at the girl in front of her; she was very thin, and her wrists were incredibly delicate, even revealing the faint blue veins underneath. The slightly small school uniform looked somewhat baggy on her. But she was very beautiful, looked spirited, and her eyes were bright and poised. She was not at all intimidated, and had her hair neatly tied up. Her first impression was of a very youthful and gentle aura.
